These teacher kits were specially designed to aid Arizona‘s educators and their students as they explore the world of rocks and minerals and mining. You‘ll find that the Arizona Science Standard Strands 1 (Inquiry) and 6 (Earth & Space Science) can be directly addressed through the use of these materials. The recently revised Arizona Social Studies Standard stresses knowledge of Natural Resources and Economics at all levels K-12, and the kit can complement your teaching in this area as well, particularly with reference to the uses of minerals and rocks. As you explore the materials, you‘ll find much content information that matches your curriculum and will enrich your classroom instruction at any grade level.
On the following pages are descriptions of the properties and uses of the rocks and minerals in the teachers‘ kit. The rocks and minerals are presented in alphabetical order with their assigned numbers shown to the left. Terminology can be referenced in the illustrated glossary of terms that is located at the end of the descriptive information. For more information about how to determine the name of a sample of unknown identity, refer to the mineral key or the rock classification charts.
This booklet was written by the former museum Curator, Jan C. Rasmussen. It incorporates material written by Susan Celestian, previous Curator, and suggestions by Mary Graf of the Arizona Foundation for Resource Education (AFRE).
Key words
Rocks, minerals, identification, luster, cleavage, hardness
